What Causes Brown Vaginal Discharge Upon Skipping Placebo Pills?
Birth control question I ve been taking tri-estrarylla for a year I skipped my placebos for the first time last month and went right into a new pack now I m experiencing withdrawal bleeding the first there was Brown discharge on the 3rd day it was light bleeding should I continue until I get to my placebos pills and have a normal period or should I stop taking the pills for a few days the start back on them again.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Well, the cause of brown vaginal discharge is common and usually harmless issue. Occasional spotting between periods might have this appearance and can be normal, especially if you're taking low-dose birth control pills. So in most cases this is not sign of disease. If it is, then usually this indicates bacterial vaginosis, STD or polycstic ovarian syndrome. Less common, some other hormonal disorders may be present. In some cases, however, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem. Although brown and yellow vaginal discharge often does not indicate a serious problem, it should not be ignored if it persists, recurs or is accompanied by other symptoms and htn eyou should see gynecolgosit for further work up. In some cases, a yellow or brown vaginal discharge could indicate a serious problem
